Help, car turned off when coming to stop and will just crank
I’ll explain first, I have a 2013 Scion frs automatic. I was driving hard… I was at 135mph only problem I noticed was that I was on high rpm almost redlining and car wouldn’t throw another gear but I feel like that’s because there was no other gear to throw in. When I was getting off the freeway and coming to a stop the car just turned off on me. The car would not crank that night but the morning after it would crank but wouldn’t turn on. I haven’t had any issues with the car prior, no misfires, no codes, nothing, car has been perfectly fine till that night.
I decided to check my ignition coils thinking maybe one unplugged since I had that problem once but they looked fine to me. Now my problem is, like a rookie I decided to do that instead of checking the codes first, but I unplugged the ECU to check the coils and the battery to clean it and that cleared my codes can is there a way to get the codes back even when car doesn’t turn on?? And if anyone had something similar happen help pls |

That's for going 135 mph on a highway in the US. Maybe your car got overheated and that is why it stopped. Maybe it's out of gas? I suggest you have it towed to a shop and have them fix it. |

I did 150 mph with mine, and some extended runs (10-15 minutes) well over 120 mph, these cars don't really overheat at those speeds. There's enough airflow to keep the oil around 115°C (240-ish). My guess is this is something else.
Tow it to a good mechanic who knows these cars. Or at least a Subie shop. |

This has led me to some asshole on the miata forums asking "Top speed for a stock FR-S?"
That was over 10 years ago. XD |
